Every individual holds many intricate, intersecting identities that influence our experiences and journeys through life. These identities shape who we are, how we see ourselves, and how others see us. Navigating the challenges and stresses of life, especially through the pandemic and amidst all of the political turmoil going on has only become more challenging. When we are able to understand ourselves and channel our strengths, we are able to make more positive, healthy changes. I work with clients to identify personalized goals for therapy and a clear path to gaining self-insight and feeling empowered to lead a healthier life.
Each client has different needs, strengths, and skills; accordingly, I use a variety of approaches. My theoretical roots lie in psychodynamic, humanistic, and narrative approaches, and I incorporate more skills-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Mindfulness-Based therapy.
Therapy is a space to be seen and heard, to understand ourselves and learn how to disrupt unhealthy ways of thinking and living. Though this work is difficult and vulnerable, I believe everyone has the capacity to grow and change. You don't have to figure this out on your own. Contact me to see how you can reach your goals and live within your values.
